KANSAS CITY, Mo. -

Former Husker receiver Brandon Kinnie said he's living out a dream at the Kansas City Chiefs training camp.

Kinnie is an undrafted free agent and knows he has an uphill climb to make the team, but the always positive Kinnie said he's working hard to make a lasting impression in the NFL and learning from the veterans.

"This is a job now, so they are taking it seriously and doing what they are doing with their craft," said Kinnie. "It's been fun learning from guys like (Steve) Breaston, (Jon) Baldwin and (Terrence) Copper, so it's been fun. It's been fun doing it and being out there every day."

Kinnie didn't catch a pass in the Chiefs' preseason opener. Kansas City plays St. Louis on Friday.
